God of the morning, at whose voice
|
God of the morning, at whose voice The cheerful sun makes haste to rise, And like a giant doth rejoice To run his journey through the skies; O, like the sun, may I fulfil The appointed duties of the day, With ready hand and active will March on, and keep my heavenly way. Give me thy counsel for my guide, And then receive me to thy bliss: All my desires and hopes beside Are faint and cold, compared with this. |
O Deus (sol enim tuo oriri iussu properat gaudens gigantis et modo viam per caelum integrat), ut sol, quodcumque acceperim, diurno fungar munere, et promptus impigerque sim caelestis et memor viae. Consilio regar tuo, dum dentur gaudia tua: nam hoc prae desiderio omnino marcent alia. |
